The Competition Starts NOW...

-



Hello dear blog viewers, subscribers and followers,

I came up with an idea to help you and to give back to you as blog viewers. From time to time I am going to do competitions on my blog for different types of prizes. The ultimate prize would be for me to actually go to your house and teach you step by step how to cook. But that obviously is not going to happen. So I devised a plan to get to as close to it as I can.


Here is the competition:
For the next week and a half From now until next week Friday the 15th of February whoever shows the most interest in wanting to learn or improve their cooking skills through your actions will get the prize for this month.

If you can prove that you want to be a better cook by doing as many things as you can then you deserve the prize as simple as it may be... ACT ON IT...

The challenge:

  •  Ask cooking related questions or share your pictures of you in the kitchen cooking something of your own or a recipe that I shared with you on my blog, and email it to me at elisesinbox@yahoo.com
  • Read and post your comments on as many blog posts as you can from the recent ones to the much older ones.
  • Invite as many friends or relatives that you think this blog may benefit to follow the blog, then send let me know a list of their names.
  • Make sure that you are subscribed meaning I have your email address and you have accepted the invitation as a subscriber that goes to your email inbox
  • and whatever else you can do, be creative.
Be creative, and show that you want to be a better cook. As you do that I will see who was the one that wanted it most. 

The winner will get: 

The winner will  be able to email me a list of every ingredient you have in your kitchen and I will come up with a menu  and teach you step by step what to make as delicious meals for the every day of that entire next week.
Forget having to plan your next meal, or having to keep going out and buying more ingredients because you don't know what to make with what you have and having mediocre, simply meals. My cooking mind is yours for the week.

How does that sound...  Try your best and you might just win. Those of you in Jamaica, Brazil, America, Africa, Europe or wherever else you are. You can enter the competition to win as well. Try your best and you will learn a lot and have this chance to learn how to truly make out of a lemon a lemonade in your kitchen...

From My kitchen to yours 
Elise

Do you get a white ooze when cooking Salmon?

-

Does your salmon often look like this when you cook it? Tried baking, frying, poaching it but this stuff keeps coming out? Quick tip: when cooking salmon it is common for a white sort of cream to come oozing out all around the fish. Though it does not affect the taste. It can be found to be annoying and not pretty. But I found the trick to solving this problem, it happens because salmon is an oily fish, there are many oils within the fish itself. When cooking all of these oils come out in the form of this white ooze, normally from my own experience, when this happens the fish tends to become dry. Because now all of that moisture and oils meant to keep the fish succulent and juicy was just taken out. I found a solution to this problem. To keep all the oils locked in, you need to dry out the surface of the fish.  Before seasoning drizzle a little bit of vinegar on the fish and rub it in well. Continue your seasoning process. You will see that your problem will be resolved. ...

Mommy Grandma Here is my beautiful mother and my grandmother both of whom I love dearly. Oh, yes. And look at my darling twin sister. My mirror, my look alike. which one am I? Do you know? Well my mom and grandma were  both born in Furna - Brava, Cape Verde also known for its portuguese name as CaboVerde. A portuguese speaking Island off of the coast of West Africa. Me in CapeVerde In CapeVerde just like in any other Country there are many traditional dishes such as 2 of the main ones. Cuscus - a breakfast bread and Cachupa- a heavy soup for lunch. These are 2 of my favorite Capeverdian foods along with others such as funginho, gigacida, and the list goes on. Cuscus is a breakfast food. For those of you who don't know what it is, its similar to a corn muffin or a corn type of bread. It is made fresh and eaten whilst hot off of the stove spread with loads of butter to melt nicely on top. I love eating this with my favorite rasberry tea. Some of you might hate i...

Ingredients 2 cups hominy corn 1/2 cup evaporated milk 1 1/2 cups coconut milk 1/2 cup water 3/4 cup condensed milk 1/2 cup cornstarch 1/2 tsp nutmeg 2 tsp vanilla extract pinch salt How to make it: Soak hominy corn in water for a few hours or preferably overnight (If you are making this in a rush and don't have time to presoak your hominy corn. No problem it will just take a little longer to cook because soaking softens the corn.) Put your hominy corn in a pot with about 2 1/2 to 3 cups water and boil on medium high heat for about 30 minutes or until they are very soft that you can cut it with a knife or poke it with a fork. and the water is nearly gone Lower your heat to medium low and take half of your coconut milk and mix in the cornstarch to it until smooth. Put that in the pot as well as the rest of your coconut milk. It will automatically thicken your hominy corn mixture now add in nutmeg, vanilla evaporated milk and condensed milk. Bring to a light boil and...
